Exchange
Agreement
On
November 12, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), World
Trophy entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”)
with Fast More Limited, a Hong Kong investment holding company (“Fast More”), Cheer
Gold Development Limited, a company organized under the laws of Samoa (“Cheer Gold”) and
Floster Investment Limited, a company organized under the laws of Samoa (“Floster” and together
with Cheer Gold, the “Stockholders”). As a
result of the share exchange, the World Trophy acquired all of the issued and
outstanding securities of Fast More from the Stockholders in exchange for
Thirty-Five Million (35,000,000) newly-issued shares of the World Trophy’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of
which Thirty-Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand (32,900,000) shares were issued
to Cheer Gold and Two Million One Hundred Thousand (2,100,000) shares were
issued to Floster. As of the Closing Date, the Stockholders collectively
beneficially own seventy percent (70%) of the voting capital stock of the
Company, 65.8% of which is owned by Cheer Gold and 4.2% of which is owned by
Floster. As a result of the Exchange, Fast More became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of World Trophy.
Effective
February 2, 2009, the Registrant amended its Articles of Incorporation to change
its name from “World Trophy Outfitters, Inc.” to “Chisen Electric Corporation”.
The following is disclosure regarding the Registrant, Fast More and Fast More’s
wholly-owned and chief operating subsidiary, Changxing Chisen Electric Co., Ltd.

Prior
Operations of World Trophy
World
Trophy was formed as a Nevada corporation on January 13, 2005, and had been in
the business of selling big game hunting packages to high end clients who sought
to hunt with the top tier big game outfitters. Its main product sold was
hunting trips, which included the hunting license and guide fees. World
Trophy purchased and resold several hunting trips, selling them at a profit or
for a mark-up. World Trophy also provided incidental advisory services to
purchasers of hunting trips by helping these clients select an appropriate hunt,
with no additional fees charged for these services.
During
the year ended March 31, 2008, World Trophy sold its entire inventory of big
game hunts, but was unsuccessful in developing a profitable business.
World Trophy ceased its operations and became a development stage company
effective April 1, 2008. Prior to the Exchange, World Trophy focused its efforts
on seeking a business opportunity and had been in the process of locating and
negotiating with business entities for the merger of a target company into World
Trophy.
The
Registrant’s Common Stock is currently traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin
Board under the symbol “CIEC”. Immediately prior to the Exchange, World Trophy
was considered a “blank check” development stage company with US$51,039 in
assets and a net loss of US$(27,977) for the three (3) months ended September
30, 2008. On the Closing Date, the Registrant did not have any
liabilities.
Current
Operations of the Company
Fast More
is an investment holding company incorporated in Hong Kong on December 17, 2007
with limited liability. CCEC was founded in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province in China
in 2002. On February 16, 2008, Fast More acquired the 51%, 9% and 40% equity
interests in CCEC from Mr. Xu Kecheng, Mr. Xu Keyong and BEME International Co.,
Ltd., respectively, for RMB6,502,500 (approximately US$926,000), RMB1,147,500
(approximately US$164,000) and RMB 5,100,000 (approximately US$726,000),
respectively. Upon the completion of these acquisition transactions, CCEC became
the wholly-owned and chief operating subsidiary of Fast More. Since
the ultimate beneficial owner of Fast More was, at all times, the substantial
stockholder of CCEC (Mr. Xu Kecheng), the ownership transfer transaction was
accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control in accordance with
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805.
On May
18, 2009, the Registrant incorporated Chisen Technology Holdings Corporation in
Nevada as its wholly-owned subsidiary. Chisen Technology Holdings
Corporation is authorized to do business in the State of Washington and up to
the date of filing, this entity has no operations.

The
Company’s Products
Description
of our Lead-Acid Motive Batteries
The key
components of a lead-acid motive battery include electrode plates and fiberglass
dividing plates. The electrode plates are coated with oxidized lead and alloy
lead. Pairs of positively charged electrode plates and negatively charged
electrode plates each separated by a fiberglass dividing plate are bound
together by metal strip and installed into the plastic casing of a lead-acid
motive battery. The battery is then filled with sulfuric acid and charged with
electricity. The number and the size of electrode plates required to be
installed in a lead-acid motive battery will depend on the required level of its
storage capacity and the power output.
We
produce and offer ten (10) models of lead-acid motive battery products for sale
and are mainly engaged in the production of the following models of lead-acid
motive battery products for electric bicycles:

Distribution
Methods
We sell
our lead-acid motive battery products principally to manufacturers of electric
bicycles. However, with the growing retail market for replacement of battery
products, i.e. our secondary market, we have also strengthened our efforts in
the sales of battery products to sales representatives and exclusive
distributors which are strategically located in 27 provinces, autonomous regions
and directly-administered municipalities in China. The Company
currently has exclusive sales agreements with distributors at the provincial and
county level, and employs sales representatives in each province across China to
help distributors to further distribute products from counties to
towns. We have established and maintained long-term relationships
with distributors who we believe have local business experience and established
regional sales networks.
Our
largest distributors are located in the cities of Yancheng and Haimen in Jiangsu
Province and in the city of Tangshan in Hebei Province.
Market Share
Zhejiang
is the main province of producing LABEBs, the output of which accounted for
approximately half of the total domestic output of LABEBs in China. According to
the China Battery Industry Association, in 2009, total output of the top five
(5) enterprises operating in Zhejiang accounted for approximately 35 million
LABEBs of the approximate 100 million sold across China in the personal
transportation market.
According
to market research results of China Battery Industry Association, for the year
ended March 31, 2010, our sales of lead-acid battery products in China
represented approximately 11.84% of the total market size (in terms of sales
revenue) of the lead-acid motive battery products for electric bicycles in
China.

Revenues
generated by the Company in China accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenues
in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
The
Company’s battery production reached 14.48 million units and 7.8 million units,
respectively for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Competitive
Business Conditions and Market Trends
At the
United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009, the Chinese Government announced
that in 2020 greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced approximately 40% to 45%
from 2005’s basis. We believe that in the next several years, due to
intensifying global environmental concerns, there will be increased development
of the electric bicycle. At present, due to the fact that the use of electric
bicycles is very much in line with the energy-saving and environmental
protection policy initiated by the Chinese government, the development of
electric vehicles won its support. The electric bicycle, as an
environment-friendly and convenient personal transportation vehicle, bears the
advantages of convenience, non-pollution, safety and less energy consumption.
According to market research results of Adfaith Consulting Co., Ltd., during the
five years from 2004 to 2008, the market sales of electric vehicles in China
tripled, with the number of electric vehicles totalling approximately
100,000,000 units in 2009. In accordance with the measured data of the electric
vehicle market demand in China, it is estimated that the market demand of the
electric vehicle will exceed 120,000,000 units in 2010.
With
respect to new product trends in the market, Europe, the United States and Japan
use primarily a lithium battery. It is a general market trend for
companies to develop motive battery products that are more environmentally
friendly with increased power output and less weight. There can be no assurance
that manufacturers of electric bikes will continue to use lead-acid motive
battery products as the principal source of motive power for electric bikes. In
the event that the market prefers to use other forms of battery products (for
example, lithium batteries), and if we are not able to develop new motive
battery products to meet the future demand, our business could be adversely
affected.
- 8
-
In 2009,
the top electric bicycle brand in terms of production was Taimei, followed by
Xinri and Yadea. Each of these companies is a relatively small enterprise. We
believe that continued industrial integration and brand concentration will
continue to increase and that these famous brands will rapidly increase their
market share. We also believe that brands will become more
diversified by an increasing influence of well-known brands on the market. The
Company has established long-term strategic relationships with important
electric bicycle manufacturers, including Xinri, Yadea, Taimei, Supaiqi. Xinri’s
electric bicycle was utilized at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and at the
Paralympic Games, which is a great honor in China, and the Company was chosen as
the only manufacturer to supply environmentally friendly batteries to Xinri for
its electric bicycle. The Company is also an alternative power source sponsor at
the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, providing an eco-friendly solution to power the
road signage at select Expo Park locations. Based on this, in the next
several years, we will strive to create an international first-class brand and
become the leader in providing “green” energy in the electric bicycle
marketplace. Simultaneously, through constant research and development of new
chemical energy technologies, we believe the Company will provide energy-savings
and highly-effective energy solutions to our customers for the purpose of
improving the quality of human life and a sustainable ecological
environment.
Competition
Our chief
competitors are Tianneng Power International Ltd. (“Tianneng”) and
Zhejiang Chaowei Power Co., Ltd. (“Chaowei”). These
companies were the first companies to enter the battery industry in China. For
example, Chaowei and Tianneng are the leading companies in terms of production
and sales volume. Chaowei has a lot of after-sales service stores and
takes an advantage in the secondary market by its continued business expansion.
Tiannneng’s capital stock is listed on The Hong Kong Stock
Exchange.
However,
Chaowei and Tianneng do not have close cooperation with any of the top electric
bicycle manufacturers in China. Although the Company entered into its battery
industry later than some of its competitors, the Company has achieved success in
establishing long-term strategic cooperation with many famous electric bicycle
manufacturers in China, such as Xinri, Yadea, Taimei, Xinkelin and
Lvyuan.
Cooperative
Partnership
In April
2008, CCEC set up the Zhejiang Changxing Chisen Physical-Chemical Power Supply
Research and Development Center at the College of Chemistry and Chemical
Engineering at Xiamen University in order to research and develop new products.
Xiamen University is a first class comprehensive University in China with 9
graduate schools, 120 research institutions and cooperative inter-university
ties to over 100 institutions worldwide. A copy of the Company’s Agreement with
Xiamen University is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.11.
The
Company has also established long-term strategic relationships with important
electric bicycle manufacturers, including Xinri, Yadea, Taimei,
Supaiqi. The Company also established strategic cooperation
partnership with suppliers and vendors by means of supply chain integration to
control procurement cost and quality. Moreover, a supplier’s assessment system
has been set up to ensure the quality stability of direct
materials.
Development
Strategy of the Company
With a
leading position in the LABEB battery product market in China, our product
research and development capability and our cooperative partnership, we believe
we are well positioned to capture additional business opportunities in China's
personal transportation device market. In light of those prevailing economic
trends of developing alternative transportation devices, aiming to reduce the
reliance on oil and gas and producing lesser emissions, we intend to explore the
motive battery market for electric-powered motorcycles and electric cars.
Leveraging our experience and expertise in producing lead-acid motive battery
products for electric bicycles, our product mix has been expanded to include
lead-acid back-up batteries, lithium iron motive batteries, lithium iron back-up
battery products and complementary electrical equipment, such as chargers,
controllers and motors, for different types of personal transportation devices.
It is our goal to become the largest battery developer and producer with a
first-class sales and service network in China.

The top
five lead-acid motive battery manufacturers in 2009 accounted for over 50% of
the total market share with the Company, representing approximately 11.84% of
the total market share, ranking third in the industry. The Company
has taken the following measures to set up its position as one of the leaders in
the industry: (1) the Company invested in an automatic production line with the
maximum daily production capacity increasing by 120% compared with that in
2008; (2) the Company is actively seeking an acquisition target to expand
its market share and develop its production capacity.

to further enhance the competitiveness of our products, the Company has expended
vast resources on R&D and technology innovation. The Company desires to
increase its ompetitiveness through the improvement of lead-acid battery
production techniques and the launch of new-model power battery.
On the
development of new products lines, the Company has conducted research on ultra
lead –acid motive batteries, wind and solar energy storage batteries, VRLA
batteries applied for telecommunication and uninterruptible power supply (UPS),
lithium-ion (Li-ion) power batteries, anode material for Li-ion batteries and
Li-ion ultra capacitors. The ultra lead-acid motive battery, which
was released in March 2009, is over 8% greater than other products of same type
on performance indicators. In February 2009, the Company
developed lead-acid batteries for electric road vehicles, which have occupied
some market share in the domestic market.
The
Company has finished small lot production on VRLA batteries applied for
telecommunication and UPS, which have generated positive customer feedback in
the testing market in Southeast Asia and Europe. With the release of the
plan for the revitalization of China’s new energy and the vigorous promotion of
the Chinese government to new energy motors, we believe such products will
occupy a significant market share. Li-ion ultra capacitors and anode
material for Li-ion batteries have passed the trial production phase and both
are deemed to be state-of– the art techniques. The products have entered into
the alpha test phase. The lithium iron phosphate battery, which the Company has
been researching for the past two years, has finished small lot production with
stable technical parameters. The Company also commenced receiving sales orders
from different areas in China for such product.

Sources
and Availability of Raw Materials from Suppliers
The
Company purchases the raw materials used in the manufacturing of its products
from numerous sources. The Company believes that all necessary raw materials for
its products are readily available and will continue to be so in the foreseeable
future. The Company has never had, nor does it anticipate experiencing, any
shortages of such materials.
The raw
material for our battery products consist primarily of electrolytic lead. Our
success significantly depends on our ability to secure sufficient and constant
supply of electrolytic lead for our production at acceptable price levels.
Electrolytic lead represents our largest cost item in our lead-acid motive
battery production. During each of the two fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and
March 31, 2009, the average selling price of electrolytic lead by our suppliers
was approximately RMB15,000 (approximately US$2,200) and RMB15,000
(approximately US$2,200) per ton, respectively. There were silght fluctuations
on the average selling price of electrolytic lead for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010 and the average selling price of electrolytic lead decreased by
1.57% as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. For each of the
two financial years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, costs of
lead-related material accounted for approximately 80% and 80% of our total cost
of sales, respectively. We do not have long-term contracts with any of our
electrolytic lead suppliers, nor have we entered into any arrangement to
mitigate the effect of price fluctuations of electrolytic lead. Therefore, any
significant increase in the cost of electrolytic lead in the future could
adversely affect our results if we cannot transfer the price increment to our
customers.
We
believe the Company generally maintains sufficient quantities of inventories of
its products to meet customer demand.
The
Company has entered into written contracts with several suppliers and vendors.
The Company has major suppliers who accounted for the following percentage of
total purchases and total trade payables in the fiscal years ended March 31,
2010 and 2009:

Compliance
with Environmental Regulations and Other Laws
We are
subject to the national and local environmental laws and regulations in China on
environmental matters, such as the discharge of waste water, exhaust fumes and
solid waste. The main pollutants generated by us are lead dust or particles and
waste water which contain lead and sulfuric acid. During the operation of our
production, we did not release any toxic element other than those that are
permitted under the relevant laws and regulations.
Lead is
the key raw material used in our production of lead-acid motive battery
products. An excessive intake of lead dust or particles, whether through
inhaling or skin contact, could have harmful effect on health. Lead poisoning
may also result from occupations that involve close and frequent contact with or
exposure to lead dust or particles.
Lead dust
and particles are generated during our production process. Our workers are
exposed to electrode plates during different stages of our production
process.
Pursuant
to the applicable environmental laws and regulations in China, we are obliged to
install environmental protection equipment to ensure effective removal of lead
dust and particles generated during our production process. We have installed
such equipment at each of our production plants.
Our
production process generates waste water containing lead and sulfuric acid. Such
waste water will be neutralized and treated to remove lead contents in
accordance with the applicable environmental standards in China. We have
installed such waste water treatment facilities at all our production plants.
Waste water generated at our production process, after the required treatment,
will either be collected and reused for our production requirements or
discharged to the municipal waste water collection systems for further treatment
and discharge to the environment.
We are
also required by the laws and regulations governing health and safety at work in
China to provide our employees exposed to lead dust or particles with protective
clothing and accessories, such as gloves, goggles and masks. We also arrange all
our employees engaging in the lead-related production process to receive medical
checks at least once a year. The medical checks include measurement of blood
lead level.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting
Principles
The
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (“US GAAP”).
Basis
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the
Registrant and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Revenue
Recognition
Operating
revenue represents sale of goods at invoiced value to customers, net of returns,
discounts and value-added tax (“VAT”), and is recognized when goods are
delivered to customers, the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods
have been transferred to customers, the sales price to the customers is fixed or
determinable and the collectability of consideration is reasonably
assured.
Costs
related to shipping and handling are included in selling, marketing and
distribution expenses.
Retirement
Plan Costs
Contributions
to defined contribution retirement schemes are charged to cost of sales, sales,
marketing and distribution costs and general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income as and when
the related employee services are provided. Retirement plan costs were
US$502,000 and US$130,000 for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company provides for income taxes using the liability method. Under the
liability method, current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income
taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current period.
A
deferred income tax asset or liability is computed for the expected future
impact of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax
credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Tax rate
changes are reflected in the computation of the income tax provision during the
period such changes are enacted.
Under the
provision of ASC 740 Income Taxes, tax position is recognized as a benefit only
if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a
tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount
recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% of
being realized on examination by the tax authority. For tax positions not
meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is
recorded.
Property,
Plant and Equipment (“PPE”) and Long-Term Land Lease Prepayments
PPE are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditure that
substantially increases the useful lives of existing assets.
The cost
of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of
bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its
intended use. Expenditures incurred after the assets have been put into
operation, such as repairs and maintenance, overhaul and minor renewals and
betterments, are normally charged to operating expenses in the period in which
they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated
that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits
expected to be obtained from the use of the assets, the expenditure is
capitalized.
- 22
-
Depreciation
is provided, on a straight-line basis, to write off the cost less accumulated
depreciation of each PPE item at rates based on their estimated useful lives
from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into
account their estimated residual values as follows:
Buildings
|
20
years
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
Over
the unexpired term of lease
|
Furniture,
fixtures and office equipment
|
10
years
|
Motor
vehicles
|
5
years
|
Plant
and machinery
|
10
years
|
When
assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and any gain or loss
resulting from their disposal is recognized in the period of disposition as an
element of other income.
Construction-in-progress
consists of factories and office buildings under construction and machinery
pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and
equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance
these assets during the period of construction or installation. No provision for
depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time the relevant
assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
Long-term
land lease prepayments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of
lease.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, which comprises
all costs of purchase and, where applicable, costs of conversion and other costs
that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition, is calculated using the weighted average costing method. The
Company estimates the market price of its inventories with reference to the net
realizable value based upon current market conditions and historical experience.
Estimated losses on inventories represent reserves for obsolescence, excess
quantities, irregulars and slow moving inventory, and which are charged to cost
of sales.
Trade
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
allowance for the risk of non-collection of trade receivables takes into account
credit-risk concentration. Collective debt risk is assessed based on average
historical losses and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic
conditions. The Company’s estimate is based on a variety of factors, including
historical collection experience, existing economic conditions and a review of
the current status of the receivables. Trade receivables are presented net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts of US$6,000 and US$6,000 as of March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
represents cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions which are
repayable on demand. Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, which
are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
Foreign
Currency Translation
Items
included in the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary are measured
using Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional
currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States
Dollars (“US$”), which is the
Company’s presentation currency.
Foreign
currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income
statement.
On
consolidation, the results and financial position of all the group entities that
have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated as follows:
(a)
assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the
closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(b)
income and expenses for each statement of operations are translated at average
exchange rates;
- 23
-
(c) all
resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of
equity.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The ASC
Topic 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires
that the Company discloses estimated fair value of financial instruments. The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current
liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of
fair value.
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC
820”). The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value
hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level
1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The
three levels are defined as follows:
Level
1: Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted market prices in active
markets for the identical asset or liabilities.
Level
2: Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of
the financial instrument.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the entity’s own assumptions in measuring
the asset or liability at fair value.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, restricted bank balances, other financial assets, accounts
receivable and payable, deposits, prepayment and other receivables, notes
payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, amount due from/to related
parties and short-term borrowings which are carried at amounts that generally
approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of
these instruments.
Warranty
Estimated
warranty costs are recognized at the time when the Company sells its products
and are included in sale, marketing and distribution expenses. The Company uses
historical failure rates and costs to repair product defects during the warranty
period to estimate warranty costs, which are reviewed periodically in light
of actual experience. The reconciliation of the changes in the warranty
obligation is as follows:

Government
Subsidies
Government
subsidies are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with
the related costs. Subsidies related to expense items are recognized in the same
period as those expenses are charged in the consolidated statements of
operations and other comprehensive income and are reported separately as other
income.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The management evaluates
these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases their estimates on
experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and
various other assumptions that they believe are reasonable under the
circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as
identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments
and contingencies.
- 24
-
Actual
amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not
limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful
accounts, depreciation and amortization, inventory allowance, taxes and
contingencies.
Related
Parties
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over
the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also
considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common
significant influence.

Revenues
and Cost of Sales
During
the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s sales volume increased by
approximately 85.64% to 14,480,000 units for the year ended March 31, 2010
compared with 7,800,000 units for the year ended March 31, 2009. Revenues
increased by approximately 62.53% to US$177,192,000 for the year ended March 31,
2010 compared with US$109,020,000 for the year ended March 31, 2009. The
increase was driven by the rapid growth in the electric bicycle market in the
PRC, which also resulted in an increase in the Company’s sales to existing and
new electric bicycle manufacturers. The increase was mainly
attributable to an increase in sales of approximately 434% to a major electric
bicycle manufacturer, Taimei, during the year ended March 31,
2010. The Company expanded its production facilities during the year
ended March 31, 2010 in response to the significant increase in demand of the
Company’s battery products.
In
addition to the Company’s promotional activities, the Company offered sales
discounts, rebates and also reduced the selling price of its products in order
to maintain its competitiveness in the market. The cost rate for the
year ended March 31, 2010 increased by approximately 5.28% from 81.47%
for the year ended March 31, 2009 to 86.75% for the year ended March 31,
2010. Cost of sales for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were
US$153,708,000 and US$88,823,000, respectively.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expenses were US$659,000 and US$464,000 for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This increase of US$195,000,
or 42.03%, was mainly attributable to the Company’s acquisition of new plants
and machinery during the year ended March 31, 2010 as a result of the Company’s
business expansion.
- 26
-
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expense was US$3,647,000 and US$4,007,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and mainly consisted of staff salaries
and benefits, depreciation expenses, travel expenses, legal and
professional fees, other taxes, entertainment expenses and vehicle expenses.
This decrease of US$360,000, or 8.98%, was mainly due to the reclassification of
certain expenses to cost of sales, and sales, marketing and distribution in
order to more accurately reflect its true nature.
Sales,
Marketing and Distribution
Sales,
marketing and distribution expenses were US$8,696,000 and US$5,337,000 for the
years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This increase of
US$3,359,000, or 62.94% was mainly due to the increase in transportation
expenses and sales commissions related to the Company’s increased sales
activities.
Other
Income, Net
Net other
income was US$1,671,000 and US$758,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This increase of US$913,000, or 120.45%,
was mainly attributable to the net sales of lead to suppliers, which generated
net other income of approximately US$1,204,000.
Net
Income from Operations before Interest and Tax Expenses
Net
income from operations before interest and tax expenses increased from
US$11,973,000 for the year ended March 31, 2009 to US$13,155,000 for the year
ended March 31, 2010. This increase of US$1,182,000, or approximately 9.87%, was
mainly driven by the Company’s increased selling activities and the Company’s
sales of raw materials during the year ended March 31, 2010.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was US$2,068,000 and US$1,232,000 for the years ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense increased by US$836,000, or
67.86%, due to the increase in average short-term bank borrowing balances for
the year ended March 31, 2010 compared to the year ended March 31,
2009.
Net
Income
Net
Income was US$9,500,000 and US$8,880,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase of net income was mainly
driven by the continued increase in the sales of the Company’s battery products
and the Company’s sales of its raw materials during the year ended March
31, 2010.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company generally finances its operations through profits generated from its
operations and through borrowings from banks.
During
the reporting periods, the Company entered into a number of short-term bank
loans to satisfy its financing needs. As of the date of this Annual Report, we
have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds by bank loans, and we have
not experienced any liquidity problems in settling our payables in the normal
course of business and repaying our bank loans when they fall due.

Operating
Activities
Net cash
used in operating activities was approximately US$9,163,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2010, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
US$12,089,000 for the year ended March 31, 2009. This decrease of cash flow was
mainly attributable to an increase in inventories as a result of the expansion
of the Company’s production capacity and the increase of trade receivables
related to the Company’s increase in selling activities, offset by an increase
in notes payable.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities was approximately US$13,050,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2010, as compared to approximately US$8,933,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2009. This increase of net cash outflow was mainly due to the
acquisition by the Company of new plants and machinery and investments in
restricted bank balances.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
provided by financing activities was approximately US$25,601,000 for the year
ended March 31, 2010, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of
approximately US$1,461,000 for the year ended March 31, 2009. The increase of
cash flow was mainly due to the Company’s new short-term bank borrowings and
bills financing and the decrease in repayment of short-term bank
loans.
Working
Capital
Our
working capital increased by approximately US$4,255,000 to approximately
US$16,761,000 as compared to working capital of approximately US$12,506,000 as
of March 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to the increase in
our cash and cash equivalents, restricted bank balances, other financial assets,
trade receivables, prepayment and inventories of approximately US$49,456,000 in
the aggregate, offset by the increase in our trade and notes payables, accrued
expenses and other accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties, and
short-term bank borrowings of approximately US$44,809,000 in the
aggregate. The
increase in trade receivables was the result of the increase of sales volume.
Inventory carrying levels have been increased for raw materials, semi-finished
goods and replacement batteries. This has been done to meet the projected
demand in the first quarter of 2010/11.
The increase in short-term bank loans and notes payables was the result of our
financing arrangement.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet
guarantees, interest rate swap transactions of foreign currency forward
contracts. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity
or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in
an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and
development services with us.

Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange
Act. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the fiscal quarter covered by this
Annual Report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules
and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer,
as appropriate to allow appropriate decisions on a timely basis regarding
required disclosure.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
structure and procedures over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act. Our management
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2010 based on the framework set forth in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Internal
control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving
financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal
control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and
compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from
human failures. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material
misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal
control over financial reporting. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2010 was effective.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report
in this Annual Report.

for ensuring that the independent registered public accountants submit a

Board Leadership
Structure
The Board
believes that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is best situated to serve as
Chairman of the Board because he is ultimately responsible for the day-to-day
operation of the Company and is the director most familiar with the Company’s
business and industry and most capable of effectively identifying strategic
priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. Independent
directors and management have different perspectives and roles in strategy
development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise
from outside the Company and industry, while the Chief Executive Officer brings
company-specific experience and expertise. The Board believes that the combined
role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer promotes strategy development and
execution, and facilitates information flow between management and the Board,
which are essential to effective governance.
One of
the key responsibilities of the Board is to develop strategic direction and hold
management accountable for the execution of strategy once it is developed. The
Board believes the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
together with the presence of four independent directors on the Board, is in the
best interest of shareholders because it provides the appropriate balance
between strategy development and independent oversight of management. The Board
retains the authority to modify this structure to best address the Company’s
unique circumstances, and so advance the best interests of all shareholders, as
and when appropriate.
The Board’s Role in Risk
Oversight
The Board
oversees our shareholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall
success of the Company and its financial strengths. The full Board is actively
involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so in part
through discussion and review of our business, financial and corporate
governance practices and procedures. The
Board, as a whole, reviews the risks confronted by the Company with respect to
its operations and financial condition, establishes limits of risk tolerance
with respect to the Company’s activities and ensures adequate property and
liability insurance coverage.
Because of the role of the
Board in the risk oversight of the Company, the Board believes that any
leadership structure that it adopts must allow it to effectively oversee the
management of the risks relating to the Company’s operations. The Board
recognizes that there are different leadership structures that could allow it to
effectively oversee the management of the risks relating to the Company’s
operations, and while the Board believes its current leadership structure
enables it to effectively manage such risks, it was not the primary reason the
Board selected its current leadership structure over other potential
alternatives. See the discussion under the heading “— Board Leadership
Structure” above for a discussion of why the Board has determined that its
current leadership structure is appropriate.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and stockholders of:
Chisen
Electric Corporation
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chisen Electric
Corporation ( “Chisen Electric”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to
as the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and other comprehensive income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31,
2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Chisen
Electric Corporation (“Chisen Electric”), formerly known as World Trophy
Oufitters, Inc., was formed as a Nevada corporation on January 13, 2005. Its
common stocks are currently trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under
the symbol “CIEC.OB”.
Chisen
Electric is an investment holding company with no operations. The principal
activities of its subsidiaries (together with Chisen Electric, collectively
referred as “the Company”) are the manufacture and sales of sealed lead-acid
battery products and investment holding.

On
November 12, 2008, Chisen Electric entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
(“Exchange”) with Fast More, Cheer Gold Development Limited (“Cheer Gold”) and
Floster Investment Limited (Floster Investment Limited and together with Cheer
Gold, the “Stockholders”) whereby Chisen Electric acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Fast More from the Stockholders in exchange for the
issuance by Chisen Electric to the Stockholders of an aggregate 35,000,000
newly-issued shares of Chisen Electric’s common stock, par value of US$0.001
each, representing 70% of Chisen Electric’s common stock issued and outstanding
upon completion of the share exchange (the “Share Exchange
Transaction”).
Prior to
the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction, Chisen Electric implemented a 3
for 1 forward stock split, resulting to the increase of Chisen Electric’s common
stock issued and outstanding from 11,219,400 shares to 33,658,200 shares,
immediately before the completion of the Share Exchange
Transaction.

ORGANIZATION
AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
(CONTINUED)
|
Upon the
completion of the Share Exchange Transaction (including, but not limited to, the
cancellation of the 18,658,200 shares of Chisen Electric’s common stock
concurrent and simultaneous with the consummation of the Share Exchange
Transaction) on November 12, 2008, there were 50,000,000 shares of Chisen
Electric’s common stock issued and outstanding.
The
acquisition by Chisen Electric of Fast More is deemed to be a reverse
acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and
Guidance prepared by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
Chisen Electric (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and
Fast More (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. The
consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity will in substance
be those of Fast More, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and
expenses, of Chisen Electric being included effective from the date of
completion of Share Exchange Transaction. Chisen Electric is deemed to be a
continuation of the business of Fast More. The outstanding common stock of
Chisen Electric prior to the Share Exchange Transaction will be accounted for at
their net book value and no goodwill will be recognized.
In order
to rationalize the corporate structure and prepare for the Share Exchange
Transaction, Fast More and Changxing Chisen (collectively referred to as “the
Fast More Group”) underwent a reorganization (“Reorganization”) prior to the
consummation of the Share Exchange Transaction. On February 16, 2008, Fast More
acquired the 51%, 9% and 40% equity interest in Changxing Chisen from Mr. Xu Ke
Cheng, Mr. Xu Ke Yong and BEME International Co., Limited at a consideration of
RMB6,502,500 (equivalent to USD926,000), RMB1,147,500 (equivalent to USD164,000)
and RMB5,100,000 (equivalent to USD726,000) respectively. Upon completion of the
transactions, Changxing Chisen has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fast
More.
Since the
ultimate beneficial owner of the companies now comprising the Fast More Group
was, all the time prior to the completion of the Reorganization, Mr. Xu Ke
Cheng, the ownership transfer transaction was accounted for as a transfer of
entities under common control in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. Hence, the
consolidation has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the
basis as if the Reorganization had become effective as of the beginning of the
first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
|
Revenue
recognition
Operating
revenue represents sale of goods at invoiced value to customers, net of returns,
discounts and value-added tax (“VAT”), and is recognized when goods are
delivered to customers, the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods
have been transferred to customers, the sales price to the customers is fixed or
determinable and the collectability of consideration is reasonably
assured.
Costs
related to shipping and handling are included in selling, marketing and
distribution expenses.
Segmental
information
During
the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, all revenue of the Company represented
income from sales of sealed lead-acid batteries and therefore no financial
information by business segment is presented. Furthermore, as all income is
derived from the PRC, no geographical segment information is
presented.
Research
and development costs
All costs
of research and development activities are generally expensed as incurred.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
|
Income
taxes (Continued)
A
deferred income tax asset or liability is computed for the expected future
impact of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax
credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Tax rate
changes are reflected in the computation of the income tax provision during the
period such changes are enacted.
Under the
provision of ASC 740 Income
Taxes, tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely
than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a
tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest
amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% of being realized on examination
by the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not”
test, no tax benefit is recorded.
Comprehensive
income
ASC Topic
220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires the presentation of
comprehensive income, in addition to the existing statements of operations.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the year from
transactions and other events, excluding the changes resulting from investments
by owners and distributions to owners, and is not included in the computation of
income tax expense or benefit. Accumulated comprehensive income consists of
changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency
translation.
Available-for-sale
financial assets
The
Company’s available-for-sale financial assets consist of investment in unlisted
equity securities and are recorded at cost.
The
Company periodically assesses whether its investment in non-marketable equity
securities are impaired and if any impairment is other than temporary. Factors
considered in assessing whether an impairment is other than temporary include
the credit quality of the investment, the duration of the impairment, the
Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until recovery and overall
economic conditions. A decline in value of these securities below cost that is
deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment charge to earnings
that reduces the carrying amount of the securities to fair value establishing a
new cost basis.
Property,
plant and equipment (“PPE”) and long-term land lease prepayments
PPE are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditure that
substantially increases the useful lives of existing assets.
The cost
of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of
bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its
intended use. Expenditures incurred after the assets have been put into
operation, such as repairs and maintenance, overhaul and minor renewals and
betterments, are normally charged to operating expenses in the period in which
they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated
that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits
expected to be obtained from the use of the assets, the expenditure is
capitalized.

Property,
plant and equipment (“PPE”) and long-term land lease prepayments
(Continued)
Depreciation
is provided, on a straight-line basis, to write off the cost less accumulated
depreciation of each PPE item at rates based on their estimated useful lives
from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into
account their estimated residual values as follows:
Buildings
|
20 years

|
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
|
10 years
|
|
Motor vehicles
|
5 years
|
|
Plant and machinery
|
|
10 years
|
When
assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are
eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and any gain or loss
resulting from their disposal is recognized in the period of disposition as an
element of other income.
Construction-in-progress
consists of factories and office buildings under construction and machinery
pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and
equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance
these assets during the period of construction or installation. No provision for
depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time the relevant
assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
Long-term
land lease prepayments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of
lease.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be
recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired
as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of
recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount
of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, impairment is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets and recorded as a reduction of original costs. Assets to be disposed of
are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost, which comprises
all costs of purchase and, where applicable, costs of conversion and other costs
that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition, is calculated using the weighted average costing method. The
Company estimates the market price of its inventories with reference to the net
realizable value based upon current market conditions and historical experience.
Estimated losses on inventories represent reserves for obsolescence, excess
quantities, irregulars and slow moving inventory, and which are charged to cost
of sales.

Trade
receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts
The
allowance for the risk of non-collection of trade receivables takes into account
credit-risk concentration. Collective debt risk is assessed based on average
historical losses and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic
conditions. The Company’s estimate is based on a variety of factors, including
historical collection experience, existing economic conditions and a review of
the current status of the receivables. Trade receivables are presented net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts of US$6,000 and US$6,000 as of March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
represents cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions which are
repayable on demand. Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, which
are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
Foreign
currency translation
Items
included in the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary are measured
using Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in United States Dollars (“US$”), which is the
Company’s presentation currency.
Foreign
currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income
statement.
On
consolidation, the results and financial position of all the group entities that
have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated as follows:
|
(a)
|
assets
and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the
closing rate at the date of that balance
sheet;
|
|
(b)
|
income
and expenses for each statement of operations are translated at average
exchange rates;
|
|
(c)
|
all
resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of
equity.
|
Fair
value of financial instruments
The ASC
Topic 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires
that the Company discloses estimated fair value of financial instruments. The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current
liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of
fair value.

Fair
value measurements
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (“ASC 820”). The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements. ASC 820 establishes a
three-tier fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in
active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3). The three levels are defined as follows:
|
Level
1:
|
Observable
inputs, such as unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for the
identical asset or liabilities.
|
|
Level
2:
|
Inputs
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term
of the financial instrument.
|
|
Level
3:
|
Unobservable
inputs reflecting the entity’s own assumptions in measuring the asset or
liability at fair value.
|
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, restricted bank balances, other financial assets, trade receivables
and payables, deposits, prepayment and other receivables, notes payable, accrued
expenses and other liabilities, amount due from/to related parties and
short-term borrowings which are carried at amounts that generally approximate
their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments.
Warranty
Estimated
warranty costs are recognized at the time when the Company sells its products
and are included in sale, marketing and distribution expenses. The Company uses
historical failure rates and costs to repair product defects during the warranty
period to estimate warranty costs, which are reviewed periodically in light of
actual experience. The reconciliation of the changes in the warranty obligation
is as follows:

Government
subsidies
Government
subsidies are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with
the related costs. Subsidies related to expense items are recognized in the same
period as those expenses are charged in the consolidated statements of
operations and other comprehensive income and are reported separately as other
income.
Operating
leases
Leases
where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with
the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payables under
operating leases are recognized as expenses on the straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
US GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The
management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases
their estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions,
third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that they believe are
reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to
commitments and contingencies.
Actual
amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not
limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful
accounts, depreciation and amortization, inventory allowance, taxes and
contingencies.
Related
parties
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over
the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also
considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common
significant influence.
Earnings
per share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common stocks that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Since there were no potentially dilutive securities for the years ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for both
years.
Upon the
completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, the number of Chisen Electric’s
common stock issued and outstanding, taken into account of the 3 for 1 forward
split as detailed in Note 1 was increased to 50,000,000 shares and was applied
retrospectively for the calculation of earnings per share.

Recent
accounting pronouncements
In May
2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general
standards for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and
transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new
terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that
currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new
required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.
The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No.140. ASC Topic 860
requires entities to provide more information about sales of securitized
financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains
some risk to the assets. The statement eliminates the concept of a
qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for the
de-recognition of financial assets, and calls upon sellers of the assets to make
additional disclosures about them. ASC Topic 860 is effective as for
an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC Topic 860 will
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R). ASC Topic 810 amends Interpretation No.46(R) to require
enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more
transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest
entity. ASC Topic 810 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal
period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not
expect the adoption of ASC Topic 810 will have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 105, “the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification” (“ASC”). ASC would become the source of authoritative US GAAP
recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Once the ASC
is in effect, all of its content would carry the same level of authority. The
ASC becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after
September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the ASC in the second quarter of fiscal
2010. The adoption of the ASC did not have an effect on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations. However, because the ASC completely replaces
existing standards, it affects the way US GAAP is referenced within the
consolidated financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2009-05, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value, effective for the first reporting period after issuance. This Update
provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity
is required to measure fair value using the quoted price of the identical
liability or similar liabilities when traded as an asset or another valuation
technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC Topic 820. The adoption
of Update 2009-05 did not have any affect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

Recent
accounting pronouncements (Continued)
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for
decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. Under this guidance, an
entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have
a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation
of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and
measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. In
contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership
interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the
subsidiary as an equity transaction. This ASU clarifies the scope of the
decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets.
This ASU is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period
ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments
in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a
decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity.
The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges
a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an
equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are
effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160,
“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment
of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date
the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards
Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first
interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The
amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period
that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The Company does not expect the adoption of
Update 2010-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

Recent
accounting pronouncements (Continued)
In
January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10
that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels
1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of
significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements
and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3
fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements
using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should
present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net
number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that
clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A
reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each
class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or
liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A
reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of
assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation
techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation
techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and
nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair
value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new
disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of Update 2010-06 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
ASC Topic
855, “Subsequent
Events,” was
amended in February 2010. Under the amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer
required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance
was effective immediately and the Company adopted these new requirements for the
year ended March 31, 2010.

Country
risks
|
The
Company’s major subsidiary has operation conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, its
business, financial condition and result of operation maybe influenced by the
political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state
of the PRC economy.
The
operation in the PRC is subject to special considerations and significant risks
not typically associated with companies in the United States. These include
risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal
environment and foreign currency exchange and remittance restrictions. The
Company’s results maybe adversely affected by changes in the political and
social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with
respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, inter alia.
The management does not believe these risks to be significant. There can be no
assurance, however, those changes in political and other conditions will not
result in any adverse impact.

INCOME
TAXES
|
Chisen
Electric had a net operating loss carry-forward for income tax reporting
purposes that might be offset against future taxable income. These net operating
loss carry-forwards are severely limited when Chisen Electric experiences a
change in control. Therefore, following the Exchange as mentioned in
Note 1 in November 2008, the amount available to offset future taxable income is
limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because
Chisen Electric believes that it is more likely than not that the carry-forwards
will finally expire and therefore cannot be used. Accordingly, the
potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation
allowance of the same amount.
Chisen
Electric’s subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income
arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which each entity domiciles
and operates.
Hong Kong
Profits Tax has not been provided as Fast More had no assessable profit for the
year.
Changxing
Chisen is subject to state and local enterprise income taxes in the PRC at a
standard rate of 25%. Changxing Chisen received official designation by the
local tax authority as a foreign invested enterprise engaged in manufacturing
activities and is confirmed by the local tax authority that it is exempted from
enterprise income tax for two years commencing from the first profitable year in
2006, followed by a 50% reduction for the next three years.
Dividends
payable by a foreign invested enterprise in the PRC to its foreign investors in
Hong Kong are subject to a 5% withholding tax and deferred tax expenses of
US$Nil and US$460,000 were charged to the statement of operations for the years
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, and prescribes the measurement process
and a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position, taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return, that is required to be met before being recognized in the
financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit
from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the tax authority, based on the technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements
attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has
a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of
the position.
Subject
to the provision of ASC 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in
all of the domestic and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file
income tax returns. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has identified
the following jurisdictions as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which
it is required to file income tax returns in United States, Hong Kong and the
PRC. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there
are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its
consolidated financial statements.
As of
March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or
accruals for the potential payment of interest and penalties. The Company’s
policy is to record interest and penalties in this connection as a component of
the provision for income tax expense. For the years ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, no interest or penalties were recorded.
